If you thought SUVs and fun driving don't go together, think again. This is N. Built for versatility and performance, the all-new Hyundai KONA N is for outdoor lovers as much as driving enthusiasts. Whatever your adventure –the KONA N will bring the excitement.
True Hot SUV
With its 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) and a 280 PS powertrain, the KONA N cannot deny its DNA. Yes, it's N.
SUV Versatility and Power
Expanding the boundaries of versatility, the new KONA N delivers during your daily commute as much as on your backroad adventures. Or on the race-track, if that's your thing.
Like Racing in a Game, but Real
Spice up your routines with a 10.25" digital cluster, a performance head-up display, and, of course, the N Power Shift.
Powerful without Compromise
For the very first time, the Hyundai N division and Hyundai Design Center worked together to develop an SUV body type. The result: a powerful presence combining the modern design of the new KONA with the bold and dynamic language shared by all N models.
Front
The front view is dominated by large, iconic air intakes and the KONA's LED light signature. The lower grille and red accents bring a real Motorsport feel.
Rear
A large double-wing roof spoiler with the iconic break light adds the N spice. Dual exhaust mufflers express the KONA N high-performance spirit.
Race-Inspired Control, Everyday Comfort
If you love driving, you will love taking charge of your KONA N from the moment you slide into the race-car bucket seat. Every detail is designed to provide effortless command: from steering and shifting to constant performance monitoring.
Feel like a race-car driver in these sports seats with pronounced side bolsters for excellent lateral support, leather accents, and blue stitching. They are available in cloth, leather, and suede.
The leather N steering wheel provides excellent grip – and direct access to driving performance features like the paddle shifters and two customizable hotkeys. And, of course, the red N Grin Shift button.
The N logo, sporty metal accents, as well as the Performance Blue racing line and stitching bring the motorsport looks. Leather inserts for better grip add the right feel.
The 10.25" digital cluster racing game-inspired graphics play together with the 10.25" touchscreen that displays driving data like the g-force factor. Better than your favourite game, In Real Life.
Motorsport Power on the Road and Off
The all-new KONA N brings the excitement of N to the SUV. N means more than the 280 PS flat power engine or the 8-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. It means performance features such as launch control, the N corner carving differential, and the N Grin Control System with five drive modes (including a customizable one). Experience them all, in any driving condition and on all kinds of terrains.
The 2.0 T-GDi engine delivers 280 PS and a substantial increase in flat power for more torque and power at lower RPMs, improving responsiveness, acceleration, and fun.
The redesigned side skirts on the all-new i20 N optically enhance the model's width and create a visual connection between front and back.
The quick-shifting automatic wet-type 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (N DCT) also lets you select gears manually for when you crave more race car energy.
With enhanced stiffness and reduced weight, the front axle sends fast and precise feedback to the driver, improving grip and providing a more intuitive driving experience.
The tailor-made Pirelli P Zero tyres are the same ones being used by Hyundai teams in the World Rally Championship.
Traction control empowers the KONA N to perform in rough conditions (it almost feels like 4WD). Select between four different modes (DEEP SNOW, SNOW, MUD and SAND).
Expanding the Boundaries of the Connected Car
N brings you more data for more control over your car and your driving experience, like HP, torque, turbo boost and G-force as well as lap and acceleration timers. The 10.25" AVN touchscreen also displays exclusive N content, connects your phone via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and gives you access to Hyundai’s state-of-the-art Bluelink services.
Created with the N driver in mind, the digital cluster lets you keep an eye on your driving stats and gives you instant feedback on torque and turbo boost.
Apart from the Performance Driving Data System, the Audio-Visual Navigation System also connects to Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™.
Bluelink® delivers seamless connectivity and clever features to make your drive more convenient.
Feel Powerful and Comfortable
The N focus on power and performance doesn't mean that you can't have outstanding convenience while you are pushing the boundaries of adventurous driving.
The KONA N is our first performance car with an HUD. In Sport or N mode it brings up performance data such as RPM, speed, and shift indicator in special N graphics.
Warm in winter and cool in summer. The driver and front seat passenger seats are available with seat heating and ventilation.
Safely Explore Performance Boundaries
Set your mind at ease while you push your KONA N to the limit. Hyundai SmartSense protects you and your passengers with the very latest safety and driving assist feature
Using two radar sensors in the lower rear bumper, the system warns you of traffic in the blind spot area. Should you set the turn indicator in such a situation, it will sound an acoustic alert and brake to prevent collision.
When reversing out of areas with low visibility, the system not only warns the driver if vehicles approach from the side – it also applies the brakes automatically.
The new KONA Electric features Lane Following Assist (LFA). When activated, it keeps the car centred in its lane at speeds between 0 and 200 km/h on highways and city streets.
More safety and less stress. Maintains a set distance to the vehicle ahead, automatically reducing or increasing speed to a pre-set limit. In “stop & go” traffic, the set distance is maintained.
